Asakzai was raised in Thorncliffe and often visited the area since moving to Scarborough for some years now, a resident said.
According to media reports, Shoaib Asakzai and his friend had been arrested in July 2011 after a violent altercation at East York Mall that left three people wounded. As a result Asakzia, who was 20 then, was charged with pointing a firearm and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
